Towards the treatment of postpartum uterine inversion

Eversion of the uterus after childbirth is extremely rare. So, according to Braun, for 250,000 births from the Vienna Obstetric Clinic there was not a single case of eversion, Winkel for 17,000 births, Benham for 100,000 births from the Dublin maternity hospital, Beckmann for 200,000 births from the St. Petersburg maternity hospital, not a single one was observed case of eversion. It depends on the fact that eversion with the correct management of childbirth and mainly the postpartum period occurs extremely rarely. Most authors at least consider the crude methods used during childbirth to isolate the placenta by poor midwives or, more often than not, simple midwives, as the most common causes of eversion. The etiology and symptomatology of postpartum inversion of the uterus have been sufficiently elucidated, while the treatment of especially old forms of it presents many controversial points, as a result of which I would allow myself here to cite one case of postpartum inversion of the uterus that I observed in the hospital of Mary Magdalene and is of some interest in relation.
